Fizzy Fruit 03. The Crunch (Wider Mix) 04. Right Time 05. Inwards And Upwards 06. Information Age 07. Crack Down 08. Triggerfish 09. Out Of Know-Ware Review: Both the Quirks Mark Allen and Tim Healey have been experimenting alot the last couple of years and they are some of the pioneers in the wave of housey progressive trance - which have grown nearly to the size of a tsunami during the last year. Hopefiend is Marks own project and this album feels like it comes in the exact right time - the first releases I heard from Hopefiend didn´t feel at all as interesting as this, and it feels like he took the time he needed to evolve and experiement to release this full length. Because of the sets I´ve heard from him during the summer (that hot morning @ VooV,, ohh.. memories , just after Antis great(!) morninghours ), I had quite some expectations on this one, and he surely delivered what I wanted - loads of great pounding rythms and it´s as quirky and funny as ever. The tracks shifts between mostly uplifting, rather sunny parts while some ends up in real mind-slicing melodies - melodies which sometimes gives the feel off something experienced after a (bad?) snort of cocaine. All in all a great piece of work - if you feel like you need a sunny percussive journey with some slicing melodies and twists - then this is a really nice buy.
